1.What is your bedtime?

between 10pm and 11pm+

between 11pm and 12am

between 12am and 1am

later than 1am

I don't know, i doze off at some point while doing other things

earlier than 10pm

a variable time calculated based on when I have to get up and the absolute minimum amount of sleep I think I will need to function the next day

2.Did you ever go out for Hallowe'en dressed as any of the following branded characters (check all that apply)?

Carebear

Transformer or GoBot

Popple

Strawberry Shortcake Doll

Anyone from Wrestlemania

Simpson character

Other (please specify)

None of the above

3.What's the latest time in the day you can eat food?

as long as I am not actually unconscious I can eat

as long as I have not yet brushed my teeth I can eat

there is a period of several hours before lying down during which, if I eat anything, after I lie down it will attempt to exit my body horizontally through my chest cavity

same as c but only for junk food. I suppose if I ate a salad at 11pm I'd be fine

4.Do you know any of your neighbours?

yes, most of them, and we have block parties and cocktail hours, and they water our plants when we're on vacation...

one neighbour kid we pay to do yard work occasionally, but he doesn't speak

there's some smiling and nodding and I think if I were actively on fire I could call for help and it wouldn't be THAT weird

we try to keep the nodding to a minimum; sometimes I hide inside if I think there's a risk of a nodding situation

5.Do you feel like you need to own a TV?

not really; everything is viewable on my computer, tablet or phone

not really; TV is terrible for you—touch grass, people!

not really, but I still prefer it—I like a nice big screen

yes!

6.Do you understand your taxes?

Yes, and I do them myself.

Well, basically, but I ask a loved one/professional/software program to them for me just to be safe, then just double-check everything

Who knows? I ask a loved one/professional/software program to do them, then chuck them in a drawer unless I'm audited. Looking at taxes is distressing.

Who knows? I do them myself but some of it is kind of a wing and prayer.

7.What is the latest year that sounds like a real adult birth year to you and not something where you have to school your features and take a moment to breathe?

1997-2000

2001-2004

2005-2008

I am personally the youngest acceptable version of an adult; anyone younger than me should still be in high school. This will be my knee jerk reaction even when I retire.

8.What do you do when someone at a party asks if you're afraid "AI is going to steal your job"?

Throw your drink in their face and shriek, "Could AI do this?"

Say you know a great article on the subject & pretend to try to pull it up on your phone but "can't get a signal" so slip outside for a second for a better connection. Keep walking.

Say, "actually, chatgpt is my favourite poet" and offer to pull up some sonnets the app wrote for you earlier. Start reading, then pause. "Wait, this is DOGGEREL!" Smash your phone.

Say AI could never steal your job because it's so short and only makes those beep-boop noises, and gets lost without the gold British droid. Whenever they bring up Star Wars, immediately launch into something about Star Trek, preferably about your crush on Commander Worf. If they end the conversation, try to get their number and text about tribbles. Make them very very sorry they started this.

9.What's on your earphones at the gym?

carefully curated pumpup playlist

edifying podcast

stupid podcast

whatever audiobook I'm in the middle of right now

nothing—I just don't want people to talk to me

gym?

10.Have you encountered a Frosh Questionnaire before?

Yeah, I think I did some version of this back in school—croutons or bacon bits, right?

Yeah, but only the other ones you shared, RR—you sure do like these things for some reason.

Yeah, but I never participated.

No, I have encountered this odd phenomenon before.
